7 Back to School Watches Under $100

Back-to-school shopping isn't just for kids. Think of it as a hedge against late-summer sleepiness: now's the time to buy anything that gets your summer-soaked head back in the game. Maybe that's a killer new pen, or high-design notebook. But one thing you definitely shouldn't neglect? A handsome everyday watch. We're not promising it'll help you show up on the dot, but it will help your trustworthy suits look even better. Our favorite day-to-day watches are slim and tough, and look just as good peeking out from under suit cuffs as shacket sleeves. But you don't have to drop a few grand to outfit your barren wrists. Thanks to deep fall discounts, you can cop your next timepiece for under a hundred bucks. Here are seven we're looking forward to setting (and not forgetting) this week.

A fancy-looking chronograph for less than a hundred bucks? Sign us up. The slip-through strap can be swapped out for your favorite NATO (though the leather strap it comes with is pretty sweet), and the coloring lets it stand out in a crowd.
